Earl Grey with lemongrass and basil; fresh and fun like fruit tea.

The whole crew is getting together this weekend: an Earl Grey-style base of black tea and bergamot, plus lemongrass and basil, fresh and fun like a glass of tropical fruit tea. Great for a crowded living room, a rooftop or a board game night. Switch it on about 15 minutes before everyone arrives and leave it on intermittent mode all evening.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Black tea (steeped, warm and slightly malty); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.

Safety

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Bergamot can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.


FAQ

How do I use whole crew this weekend in a diffuser?
Add Black Tea 3 · Bergamot 2 · Lemongrass 1 · Basil 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.
What can I use instead of black tea?
Swap black tea for white tea or green tea — same tea family. The blend will shift a little: white tea is light and clean with a floral whisper.
When is the best time to use whole crew this weekend?
Use it when guests are coming, on weekends, after tidying the house, or whenever you want a little good mood.
